Leaving aside the ideological impact of the collapse of communism, structural constraints facing the Korean working class raise serious doubts about the realism of such aspirations.

Comparing the year 1991 with 1963, all measures indicate increased concentrations in the two regional poles. Since Korea's economic growth has been led by industrialisation, this regional pattern does much to determine the distribution of economic welfare by region. 6, confirms that a similar pattern applies to the regional distribution of income. The most notable divergence is that Honam (Jeonbuk and Jeonnam), despite being slightly more industrialised than other areas except the two poles, remains the poorest in terms of per capita regional product.

In essence, the export promotion system of Korea was the counterpart to the detailed and pervasive interventions that characterised her import and internal industrial regimes. Some promotion measures, both functional and selective, were designed to overcome the biases introduced by these regimes; others were designed to operate as independent instruments of policy in enhancing the country's competitive dynamism.
